Emmy-winning actor Allison Janney has joined the Apple TV+ comedy series Mrs. American Pie. The upcoming show has no relation to the American Pie films. Janney joins a powerhouse cast already consisting of Kristen Wiig. Laura Dern is on as a producer.
Set in the early 1970s, Mrs. American Pie “follows Maxine Simmons (Wiig) and her attempt to secure her seat at America’s most exclusive table: Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have nots, the series asks the same questions that baffle us today: Who gets a seat at the table, how do you get a seat at the table, and what will you sacrifice to get there?”
